I have a problem with the latest kdenlive-0.6.0-0.pm.svn20071227.i586.rpm The latest kdenlive-0.6.0-0.pm.svn20071227.i586.rpm is missing (has regressed from earlier version features) features in the handling of videos. For example, when marking the start (and stop) of a video clip, and then dragging it to the timeline, when the clip is in the timeline, it does not recognize the video start markings, but rather starts from the start of the video clip. This means videos can't be clipped inslide kdenlive, but must be accurately clipped outside kdenlive, which is a regression from the functionality of the previous kdenlive version.
Another effect with problems is the video effect called "speed". This effect is missing in the latest packman build. This effect will double or tripple the speed of an added video clip. This effect was in earlier kdenlive versions. Since I used this speed feature extensively with earlier kdenlive version, this mean I was not able to go back to my older videos for editing of mistakes. Now these could be bugs in the kdenlive-svn20071227, but unfortunately once kdenlive-0.6.0-0.pm.svn20071227.i586.rpm is installed from Packman, because of dependency version issues, it is not possible to roll back kdelive, and still have a functioning kdenlive. ================ Details of failed roll back attempt ============== I did try to roll back. I was not able to downgrade my kdenlive to kdenlive-0.5-0.pm.2.i586.rpm, without breaking functionality. Downgrading kdenlive to the older version meant, when I ever I loaded a video, kdenlive would crash, because (I think) because the older kdenlive-0.5-0.pm.2.i586.rpm is not functionally compatible with the latest libffmpeg0-0.4.9-9.pm.svn20071223.i686.rpm nor possibly latest mlt-0.2.4-0.pm.3.i586.rpm (and it needs the older libffmeg and libmlt). When I tried to downgrade libffmpeg, my package managers had a dependency problem (requiring removal of mlt-0.2.4-0.pm.3.i586.rpm and mlt++-0.2.2-0.pm.7.i586.rpm in addition to removal of kdenlive-0.5-0.pm.2.i586.rpm), possibly because kdenlive requires mlt-0.2.4-0.pm.3.i586.rpm and mlt++-0.2.2-0.pm.7.i586.rpm, which in turn require the latest libffmpeg. Once the older libffmpeg0-0.4.9-8.pm.svn20070902.i686.rpm was in place, I tried to install kdenlive-0.5-0.pm.2.i586.rpm. But when I then tried to re-install kdenlive-0.5-0.pm.2.i586.rpm, it in turn required mlt-0.2.4-0.pm.3.i586.rpm and mlt++-0.2.2-0.pm.7.i586.rpm, which required re-install of the latest libffmpeg0-0.4.9-9.pm.svn20071223.i686.rpm again. To avoid this inter-dependency loop, I believe I need the older mlt and mlt++ versions. Unfortunately, I do not have a copy of the older mlt and mlt ++ versions, and thus I can not downgrade to them. Thus I am forced back to use the latest kdenlive-0.6.0-0.pm.svn20071227.i586.rpm, which is missing some important features in older kdenlive versions. Thankyou for looking in to this. My apologies if the above is confusing. Lee aka oldcpu _______________________________________________ Packman mailing list [email protected] http://212.112.227.138/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/packman
